DONATE

day 5

We made an early start and it was a cruise down the bitchy to bourke and wills roadhouse for lunch. We then took the road to kajabbi. This is Nevs fathers hometown which goes a long way to explaining why Nev is the way he is. The movie deliverance came to mind as i did a lap of the place. Gaz, Homer and i did a run into lake julius for a look , while the others headed for mt isa. About 50 kays from isa we came across Nev stopped on the side of the road with what seemed an electrical problem. A tilt tray was called and Nev and bike were uncerimoniously dumped at the local ARB store where Mick traced the problem to a crook fuel pump due to dirty fuel. The rest of us serviced our bikes and got our tyres changed. Huge thanks to Glenn from ARB for helping up out. Btw, yesterdays sandriding tip only applies to straight sections of road. I learnt today that if deep sand is encountered on a corner, SHIIIT!!! should be replaced with FAAARK!!! All other steps remain the same. Hope your enjoying the ride. Guy :-)

Guy, please ask Nevey if they have chocolate milk in Nth Qld.
Why change tyres ? You've only spent half the time on your wheel's, the other half you've been upside down & inside out. Wish I was there to witness the fun !! All the best, stay safe!!

What the bloody hell are you clowns up to???? Pooly, Nevy, O'mara i have taken the liberty of booking you a Q ride refresher course on your return.
On your flight back for everyones sake, DON'T go near the bloody cockpit.
Have fun!!
